Pat Kirwin - 3 Possible "Once In a Decade" Players in Draft

[Night Train]

This week, somebody asked me, "Are there any once in a decade players in this draft?" Many would expected the answer to be Jadeveon Clowney (http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1852852/jadeveon-clowney), but he wasn't on my list of potential once-in-a-decade types.
I believe three players (which is a lot) in this draft have a chance, and I emphasize chance, to be once-in-a-decade players.


• Wide receiver Sammy Watkins snatches footballs like Larry Fitzgerald, runs with the ball like a top running back and reminds me of Sterling Sharpe.
• Auburn tackle Greg Robinson has athletic ability like Walter Jones.
• I've waited years to see a one gap penetrator like Pitt's Aaron Donald (http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1737460/aaron-donald).

Interesting.

I'll bet a dime that a 'once in a decade' player gets drafted in the third round, or later.

There are once in a decade players every draft... there could be 10 this year could be 0. Way to make the bold statement PK
